Help Simple question I just cannot find an answer to...

[Kevink121]

Ok I feel like this would be a mere breeze to discover via google search.

My question.(appologies for repetitive possibility)


Im possibly buying a tmobile s3 tomorrow. I have at&t. Will I be able to unlock it any other way than through tmobile customer service? Or do I need the owner to do it first?

Please for the love of god make my 3 hours of searching bear some fruit.


Thank you very much in advance

Sometimes it requires flashing another radio but THIS looks like your answer. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. I won't be up much longer but I will get back to it ASAP if somebody doesn't before me

This is kinda what I meant by the opposite.

These are instructions for unlocking an AT&T phone Im wondering if you can unlock a tmobile phone without having a contract with them or being the registered owner of the phone for less than 18 months

(sorry never said the opposite here, but All Ive been able to find is people unlocking att phones for tmobile and not the other way around)

It's the same procedure. Doesn't matter the network.... I think, could be wrong. Try it out, can't really hurt.

You can check the lock status of the phone by dialing:
*#7465625#

Havent bought it yet. Itll hurt if I buy it and cant use it because I havent had it registered for 18 months :/

I'm PRETTY sure you'll be fine. I carrier unlock almost every phone I get my hands on. If you can't get the code for free you can buy it for a small fee, $30 dollars tops, if that. I'm almost positive you can unlock using a software method for free tho.

I definitely appreciate your snappy quick feedback I need some definite feedback before I buy it though

It's DEFINITE that you will be able to unlock it one way or another lol. Trust me I've been doing this a while.
